This is the C.H.G.O. Bears podcast. We are sitting live in the Xfinity Loft on the Monday after the 20-25 season comes to an end. I didn't sleep last night, at least not sleep well. My name's Mark Carmen. He's Adam Hogue, and we are here to just digest it all with you. Hoag, you've already done Hogan Johns today. You came in hot. James Hogue is here. You're going to the Hawks game tonight. You're already moving on.

You're moving on. Yeah, you know, I wasn't actually, I thought it was going to, you know, I thought the Bears were going to win, and we were going to an NFC championship game to worry about. So I originally wasn't going to go tonight. But, you know, they lost and Taves is coming back tonight. so we're going to go

days is coming back

it's really I'm not going to lie

it's partly coping

that's a good

it's partly coping.

That's a good co- It's going to make me feel better tonight with James. We nearly started. I saw a Black Hawk's takeover tonight, so that was part of the equation too. Well, and we'll stop by the suite, hang out with the crew a little bit as well. And that's going to be awesome. Jay and Mario and Greg and everybody else who's going to be there.

It'd be a fun time out at the UC.

And hey, you know. going to be awesome. Jay and Mario and Greg and everybody else who's going to be there.

It be a fun time out at the UC. And hey, it is CHGO Blackhaw season, CHGO Bull season.

But it's always C.H.G.O. Bear season. It was, I don't know. You know what? I woke up today,

Hogue. Let me just give my emotions out there, if I may. I woke up, you know, one of the worst sports moments of my life was 2003, Cubs up three games to one. Yes, I was out. I was standing on Waveland Avenue. Yeah. And, you know, there was a ground ball of the shortstop. Won't mention his name, Alex Gonzalez. And then there was some fan in the stands. It feels like you mentioned them. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, at the end of the game, they lose to the Marlins in game seven. And over the Marlins dug out, there's like three Marlins fans. And like the whole world, like, Cub fans have been dying for this for a century plus. Yeah. And, uh, and there's the three sad ass Marlins fans that got to enjoy going to the World Series. I'm like, this is just, this is just wrong. And they had already won a World Series. Right. Like six years before that. They had already paid for one in 97. Now they get to go again in 03. The whole thing was disgusting. And so I feel the same way with the Rams. Yeah. What do they got? Four fans? Well, and the funny thing about that is we had, we had somebody at the tailgate yesterday from St. Louis. And yeah, it was like, St. Louis has just, like, disowned the Rams. As they should have. There are no Rams fans, like, from left like, St. Louis has just like this own the Rams. As they should have.

There are no Rams fans like from left over from St. Louis. So it really is just like, they're like, and they're like the fourth team in L.A. That matters. At least the third behind the Lakers and the Dodgers. No one cares about the Rams anywhere. There are, there are no Rams. Did you see any Rams fans at the tailgate yesterday?

Shout to everybody who came to the tailgate.

I saw one.

I did see one.

And I hope he. cares about the Rams anywhere. There are, there are no Rams. Did you see any Rams fans at the

tailgate yesterday? Shout to everybody who came to the tailgate. I saw one. I did see one. And I hope he stood next to the same generator I did. Yeah. And I know that like it sounded direct comparison. The Cubs were, you know, almost going to the World Series. The Bears are trying to get to the NFC championship game. There would have been an underdog going out to Seattle, all that. But But it's still annoying to lose to a fan base that has no fans.

Like no one, it would have been better for TV.

Why? an underdog going out to Seattle, all that. But it's still annoying to lose to a fan base that has no fans.

Like no one, it would have been better for TV.
